A classic cruiser/racer, teak bottom and mahogany topside planking. She has had several refits since 1991 and in the present ownership but needs some further work to re-commission her for the 2015 season. Lister 30hp diesel. 6 berths in original varnished mahogany interior. A pedigree boat at a price which allows for the further work necessary.

This is a typical example of the new generation of post-war cruiser/racers. She was very successful in her early days and had a good racing career. She is a fast boat without being a handful and comfortable for 2 people to sail.

Her fractional rig is set up with running back-stays now on tackles and easily handled.

The cock-pit is a good size with a stout wooden arch across separating the helm from the crew and carrying 2 small bronze winches originally used for the back-stays. The main sheet and it’s winch are also mounted on this arch which despite it’s appearance of restricting the cock-pit has in practice proved to be very practical.

The slatted cock-pit seats drain so the crew does not sit in a pool of water and the cock-pit gives the feeling of sitting in the boat, not perched on top of it.

The coach-roof gives the crew some protection, movement along the side decks is easy with ample space and the new slab reefed boom and telescopic kicker have proved simple to operate making her a yacht that will sail herself when required.

Sold to the present owner by Wooden Ships in 1991 and underwent a major refit in Bristol. See below for details of the refit.

In his first few years of ownership the owner sailed to the Brest and Douarnenez regattas via the Scillies, since than has sailed extensively back to Brittany, and the West coast of Scotland, Isle of Skye and Ireland.

2000: All splines between the planks above the waterline routed out and renewed.

Pym has now been laid up ashore for two years. During this time Pym has had a further refit. Mast out, Keel Step out.

Sept/Oct 2014. Engine thoroughly serviced and in running order, and all systems checked.

Examination by a local boat builder in the summer of 2014 identified the following work:

Starboard Plank.

Inspection of galvanised plate floor and surrounding area, fitting a new hull plank section in way of damage, caulked, finished and primed. £650

Removal and re-galvanising of two strap floors and two quarter knees and making good the hull planking by way of all bolt holes. Refitting all with new fastenings and making good and re-sheathing the aft deck by way of a temporary access panel, all finished primed. £1200.

After so many years the owner now finds himself reluctantly obliged to accept that it is time to pass his much-loved yacht on to new owners who will take on a refit and recommission this fine yacht.

This is a great opportunity for someone with some skills and application to acquire a fine yacht at a reasonable cost.
